Element Pictures Distribution acquires ‘You’re Ugly Too’
27 May 2015 : Seán Brosnan
Mark Noonan’s feature film debut stars Aidan Gillen and Lauren Kinsella and will hit cinemas on July 24th
Element Pictures Distribution has acquired the Irish and UK rights to Mark Noonan’s debut feature ‘You’re Ugly Too’. It will be released to Irish cinemas on July 24th.

The film stars Aidan Gillen as Will, who is released from prison on compassionate leave to care for his niece Stacey (Lauran Kinsella) after the death of her mother. As they both head into the sleepy Irish midlands and attempt to be a family, they suffer a series of setbacks. Stacey is refused admission to the local school because of her recently developed narcolepsy; Will repeatedly comes close to breaking his prison-ordered curfew; and his attempts at being a father figure to her prove disastrous…

‘You’re Ugly Too’ was produced by John Keville and Conor Barry for Savage Productions and was written and directed by Mark Noonan. The film was funded by the Irish Film Board and was shot by Tom Comerford, edited by Colin Campbell with the score being composed by David Geraghty.

The film had its world premiere earlier this year at the Berlin International Film Festival where it was praised by critics and audiences alike with the Hollywood Reporter commenting that “the film showcases lovely, unforced performances from Aidan Gillen and Lauren Kinsella.”

Ahead of its Irish Release, ‘You’re Ugly Too’ will screen as part of the Edinburgh International Film Festival in June in the New Perspective Strand which celebrates work from emerging filmmakers. In July, the film will return home to screen as part of the Galway Film Fleadh with an Irish release date set up July 24th.

Speaking on the release, Director Mark Noonan commented that “We're very excited to be working with Element Pictures Distribution for the forthcoming release of ‘You’re Ugly Too’. The film was made with lots of love by an extremely talented cast and crew, and I'm thrilled we're going to be able to share that with Irish audiences this summer.”
